The photo of the president appeared on KSWB when anchor Kathleen Bade said 'The only suspect in a sex assault at SDSU [San Diego State University] will not be charged.'
KSWB soon cut to footage of a different man with authorities, as Bade announced 'The District Attorney's Office says they decided not to file charges against 20-year-old Francisco Sousa because the evidence against him is weak.'
According to the Times of San Diego, the photo of Obama - which had the words 'NO CHARGES' underneath it - was shown Friday at 10:04pm.
The Times of San Diego was the first to report on KSWB's error.
At 10:04 p.m., viewers heard anchor Kathleen Bade say: “The only suspect in a sex assault at SDSU will not be charged.” At the same time, a picture of Obama appeared with the legend “NO CHARGES.”
“Yeah, there was an accident when they had an over-the-shoulder” display, Wille told Times of San Diego. “It wasn’t on purpose.”
Asked why there was no on-air acknowledgment or apology for the error, Wille said: “They really don’t do that when it’s a small thing like that.”
Wille said no calls were received during the newscast about the Obama picture.

In fairness, Obama did rape our country and the Constitution.
Maybe a DNA test would clear this whole thing up?
